Apparently a faulty rear main engine seal is causing the fuel trims to become very unstable and the car's developed a substantial miss. The smoke machine is the only way to track this apparently common VW problem down.Imagine telling the customer that rough running is from a bad rear main seal.
You could have sprayed this engine with brake clean all day and the numbers would not have changed.
I've never heard of a smoke machine used for an intake/vacuum leak.Intake/vacuum leak is a very common use for a smoke machine.
My use was limited to EVAP leaks which can be very hard to find.
On a side note I still cannot get used to mechanics wearing watches and rings while working on vehicles. My military training coming through.
I'm still old school and use carb cleaner...
